Who knows about your grow?

The reality is if more than one person is involved in breaking the law it becomes a conspiracy which is far worse than simple cultivation. Of course I'd show my mom. You might find yourselves in court being forced to testify against each other if you get busted. My only helpers are my pumps and my timers etc. I clone so I don't need seeds all the time. If no one knows no one can rat on you. It takes three legitamite complaints for the RCMP to legally get a search warrant. One complaint to start an investigation. Just because someone is trustable today doesn't mean they're trustable tommorow. Anyway there is no real reason to put anyone in that position unless that person is in on the grow.
Well put and solid words to grow by, I approve this message :)

just about everybody knows i grow, not the best situation to be in, the police don't concern me, its the theives. after this harvest i will move all my equipment out the house and put it somehere safer
yep ... i'd have to say the same here.
I never took it seriously until i saw that i could do it half decent.... Before then i was so excited, I had never seen a pot plant before I had no clue about it. I wanted to share it with everyone who never saw MJ in it's true form. Then after the first harvest i realized i was HOOKED, and FAR TOO PROUD of my grow.
now i'm kicking myself in the ass for what i've done.
I too worry more about the people i told than the law for fear of being robbed.
Everyone still asks questions on how my babies are and when is going to be ready... I don't have many, if any enemies, but none of that matters..
... ...no one would believe after my enthusiasm that i stopped doing it. I now just answer to most people that ... it won't be for a while till it's done, or I'm not going to get much more than an ounce, or I only have one plant.
i really fucked up the number one rule royally!!
My plan is to harvest and move, and find a new job since any "friend" who knows are people i work with.
the shame of it all, and the part that was hard to grasp (still is) is why should i have to be secret about my ganja. Why should i keep a secret about something that everyone is appreciating. Why can i not share my knowledge about the plant with people..
Now i realize why. Just hope it's not too late.:leaf:
this post is a prime example of what a fearless new grower will go through before they realize the facts about telling about their grow.
If you have someone living with you or a girlfriend/boyfriend who knows.... You just put them in harms way.
hope at least one person takes from what i'm saying.

My wife and my brother. Not that I don't trust anyone else, many of my friends are trustworthy, it's just that people tend to say things unintentionally and before you know it people know that you didn't want to know. Keep it to yourself is the best practice.

Wow man, you did f-up.... i almost fell into the same category as you, when I was preparing to grow I told way to many friends what I was planning on doing just out of pure excitement.... once the time finally came, and I had living plants I did a total 180 and realized that I was screwed if someone told on me... so i toned down the enthusiasm and just kinda stopped bringing it up. When anyone would finally ask, "so did you finally start your grow?" I'd just look kinda sheepishly at them and with a long face say, "Nooo, I had to scrap that plan, just wasn't a good idea" and let that be the end of it whilst inside I'd be screaming "HELLS YEA I STARTED IT, FINISHED IT, AND AM LOVING IT!" Not sharing my stories and experiences is crappy, but thankfully I have rollitup to get feed back and talk to like minded individuals. It's a shame that the law makes us gardeners fugitives, good thing the US is slowly moving in another direction with it's laws for this plant.

This is sooo true, best not to let anyone know just for the sake of plausible deny-ability, if for no other reason. Then they honestly can't incriminate you... at least on purpose. I have family that knows how much i enjoy to garden, they jokingly say all the time that I have a pot farm at my house,... i laugh and just shake my head, or agree and talk about giving a tour of the farm.... while thinking, "hehehe, if you only knew...." :)

There are 4 people who know i know, i should say i can trust all 4 of them but that's not strictly true, but i don't really mind. Not much can happen to me in the UK for growing a couple of small plants for my own use, too much precedent, plus i don't have a career to fook up either so not fussed about that. Would also get me infront of hopefully a jury to argue :D
I think all of us growers think from time to time about what we would say if we were i front of a jury of our peers, of coarse if all the facts were admissible in court then there wouldn't be a case to begin with. This plant shouldn't have been made illegal to begin with and that fact eludes way to many educated people.

My DH knows, obviously. He can't testify against me anyway! there's a law covering that! My bro may suspect since I asked some "technical" questions. That's it. And I know he can be trusted. He already took the heat for me years ago when we got busted, by MOM, way worse than the LAW! We had a small joint venture selling just to our friends, had about 5 oz. spread out for packaging on the dining room table when Mom got home HOURS early from work! I happened to be out of the room when she walked in. My bro took all the blame and acted liked it had nothing to do with me. So, while I haven't told him straight out, I'm sure he has the general idea from my questions. He is my weed guru!
Wow, so bro took one for the team huu, that's pretty big of him. Is there any reason you didn't tell him in the middle of all the technical questions? I would think he would know at this point, but if he didn't ask maybe he's keeping with what he doesn't know can't hurt him type of thinking.
